I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That reminds me that I really should read my copy of Gina Kolata's Flu, about the 1918 Influenza

The Great Influenza is better. And it's the size of a Neil Stephenson novel - Flu is practically a puff piece in comparison.

I'm going apple-picking next weekend, but I wish I was going to Javachik's tree instead!

Our wings are not tired.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The Great Influenza is sitting in my TBR pile. I keep picking it up, weighing it in my hand, and putting it back down.

Hhhhmmmm, a good Kindle possibility! First I need to finish the ESPN history book and the Amanda Knox trial book.

Trust my rage

In case everyone was dying to know, I fixed the toilet. Thank goodness because I've been more prone to queasiness since pregnant and I could not have handled any more ick.

The garbage disposal story is funny. I wish your electrician was closer. We have this thing in the house where the outlets you would use the most are loose? sort of so nothing stays plugged in to them and everything requires a certain amount of jiggling before you get a connection. That is my first thing to fix once I know the house is mine.

Now tagless for your comfort.

There are so many books I want to read--the new Stephen Greenblatt book, among them. I swear, once of these days I will take the time to sit and read a whole book in a couple of days like I used to.

I had no idea that gummy bears soaked in vodka are the new jello shots.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

javachik, I hope that your homeownership is smooth sailing from here on out, at least for a good long while.

Wut.

So, I decided to read All The Internets instead. Oh well, still a pretty productive evening.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I asked the recent college grad and her response was "Oh, didn't know gummy bears were new, figured that was old". Her favorite is when someone cuts an orange in half, pulls out the fruit, then does the jello shot in the shell. Easier to get it out than when using dixie cups.

I've heard the gummy bears suck up alcohol and get HUGE. And since someone brought them up: [link]
